East Allen Township 1 Pollutant Reduction Plan

I. Introduction East Allen Township is rural agricultural community located along the southern foot slopes of the Blue Mountain in the central portion of Northampton County, Pennsylvania. The Township is approximately four (4) miles north of the urbanized core of the Lehigh Valley, which includes the Cities of Allentown and Bethlehem and the Boroughs of Catasauqua and Northampton, with more rural and agricultural communities lying to the immediate north. The Township surrounds the Borough of Bath on three (3) sides within its northeastern corner. The Township is approximately 14.67 square miles in size, with a total population of approximately 4,903 according to the 2010 U.S. Census. Approximately 3,142.1 acres (4.91 square miles) is classified as Urbanized Area (UA), in accordance with the 2010 U.S. Census data. The portion of the UA that contributes runoff to known stormwater outfalls into streams is approximately 1,378.7 acres (2.15 square miles); this area is known as the Planning Area for the development of this Pollutant Reduction Plan (PRP). Within the Township, there are approximately 37.82 miles of State Highways and approximately 16.42 miles of Local Township Roads. This Pollutant Reduction Plan (PRP) was developed for the Township as a requirement of Permit PAI#132212 for their Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). The PRP outlines the actions the Township will take to address pollutant loads to the streams within the Township and downstream waterways. These actions include public participation, mapping of outfalls and other discharges, calculation of pollutant loads, implementation of stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), and undertaking operations and maintenance (O&M) activities.

II. Public Participation

Public participation is an essential part of the PRP because it enhances buy-in from residents, business owners, and landowners that may have an impact on pollutant discharges, can uncover missing elements or errors in calculations, and builds cooperative partnerships among the Township and other entities. The Township advertised the development of the PRP via Public Notice on January 10 and January 17, 2019 in the Northampton Press. The notice ran for two (2) days and stated the PRP was available for review and comment from January 18, 2019 through February 17, 2019, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m at the Township Building. Proof of publication with a copy of the public notice is provided in Appendix A. The public was given 30 days to provide comments on the contents of the PRP. A digital copy was also made available on the Township website for the duration of the 30-day comment period. A presentation about the MS4 program and the PRP was provided by the Township Engineer during the regularly scheduled Supervisors’ meeting held on February 13, 2019, providing an additional opportunity for comment by the Supervisors and the public.

III. Mapping

A. East Allen Township’s Urbanized Area and MS4 Responsibilities

The Township is located within three (3) HUC12 watersheds, including the Catasauqua Creek HUC12 Watershed, the Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watershed, and the East Branch Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watershed (see Figures 1 and 2). The Township’s Urbanized Area (UA) is found in all three (3) HUC12 watersheds and contains thirty-six (36) regulated MS4 discharges, with a total drainage area of 1,378.7 acres (2.15 square miles), as shown in Figure 1. Remaining lands within

B. Land Uses within the MS4 Planning Area

Land uses within the MS4 Planning Area are comprised of primarily cropland and high-density mixed urban, with lesser areas of hay/pasture, open land, forest, low-density mixed urban, medium-density mixed urban, low-density residential and medium-density residential. The land uses determined through the use of MapShed modeling software are summarized below in Table 1 and are shown in Appendix B. Table 1. Land Use Areas within the MS4 Planning Area for East Allen Township

C. MS4 Zones

For the purpose of developing this Pollutant Reduction Plan (PRP), the Township has three (3) MS4 Zones corresponding to the three (3) HUC12 watersheds which all drain into the lower reaches of the Lehigh River. The streams in all three (3) HUC12 watersheds are impaired by siltation from urban and/or agricultural runoff, either within the Township or within five (5) miles downstream. Under the Township’s MS4 permit, impairment by siltation must be addressed with a 10 percent reduction in sediments from drainage areas associated with Township owned/managed properties or infrastructure within Urbanized Areas (UAs). The majority of the Urbanized Area (UA) in East Allen Township is within the Catasauqua Creek HUC12 Watershed, containing twenty-three (23) of the thirty-six (36) regulated MS4 outfalls.

Page 8: POLLUTANT REDUCTION PLAN (PRP)POLLUTANT REDUCTION PLAN (PRP) EAST ALLEN TOWNSHIP NORTHAMPTON COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA January 18, 2019 PREPARED FOR: EAST ALLEN TOWNSHIP 5344 Nor-Bath Boulevard

East Allen Township 6 Pollutant Reduction Plan

Twelve (12) regulated MS4 outfalls are within the Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watershed and only one (1) regulated MS4 outfall is within the East Branch Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watershed. The majority of UA within the Catasauqua Creek HUC12 Watershed is comprised of cropland, low-density residential, and medium-density residential land use, with lesser areas of mixed urban, open land, hay/pasture, and forest land uses. Urbanized Areas within the Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watershed are comprised primarily of open land (large limestone quarry), cropland, and forest, with lesser areas of residential, commercial, and industrial land uses. Urbanized Areas within the East Branch Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watershed are comprised of primarily industrial land use, with lesser areas of residential and forest land uses. Based on field evaluations conducted during 2003-2018, there are many land areas within the Township’s UA that do not contribute concentrated flows to Township-owned or operated facilities, or which do not contribute concentrated flows from Township-owned or operated facilities into nearby streams, and therefore do not have MS4 regulated outfalls and are not part of the Planning Area for the development of this PRP. There are also considerable farmlands and one (1) very large limestone quarry within the UA which do not have any MS4 regulated outfalls. Soils throughout the Township are derived primarily from limestone and shale geology and are moderately well- to well-drained in most areas. Slopes throughout the Township are level to moderate, with countless closed depressions and sinkholes, which reduces runoff and increases infiltration in undeveloped and farmed areas. The mapping provided in Appendix B shows the MS4 regulated outfalls and respective drainage areas within East Allen Township.

D. Surface Waters

Ultimately, all stormwater discharges from the Urbanized Area (UA) in the Township are to the Catasauqua Creek, Monocacy Creek, and East Branch Monocacy, which all discharge into the lower reaches of the Lehigh River, which discharges soon thereafter into the Delaware River. The Monocacy Creek and East Branch Monocacy Creek are classified as High Quality – Cold Water Fishes (HQ-CWF) and Migratory Fishes (MF), and are listed as being impaired for recreational use due to pathogens and for aquatic life use due to siltation and habitat alterations. The Catasauqua Creek is classified as Cold Water Fishes (CWF) and Migratory Fishes (MF), and is listed as being impaired for recreational use by pathogens and for aquatic life use due to siltation. The Lehigh River is classified as Warm Water Fishes (WWF) and Migratory Fishes (MF), and is listed as being impaired for aquatic life use due to siltation, suspended solids, and organic enrichment/low dissolved oxygen. The Delaware River is classified as Warm Water Fishes (WWF) and Migratory Fishes (MF), and is listed as being impaired for fish consumption due to mercury. MS4 outfall discharges within the Township are either directly into the main stems of the Catasauqua and Monocacy Creeks or are found in the drainage areas of smaller unnamed contributory streams draining to them. The only MS4 outfall discharge to the East Branch Monocacy Creek is into a swale along an active rail line. Within the Township, only the Monocacy Creek is listed as impaired by siltation. The Catasauqua and East Branch Monocacy Creeks are listed as impaired by siltation within downstream segments less than five (5) miles from respective regulated MS4 discharges within the Township. The Lehigh River is listed as impaired for aquatic life use due to siltation, suspended solids, and organic enrichment/low dissolved oxygen. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has included these waterways on their MS4 Requirements Table, last revised March 5, 2018, as indicated below in Table 2:

IV. Pollutant Loadings

A. Methods

Sediment loading coefficients derived from MapShed Version 1.5.1 were used to calculate the existing sediment load within the designated MS4 Planning Area of East Allen Township. Loading coefficients for land uses within each of the three (2) HUC12 watersheds within East Allen Township (see Figure 2) were applied to land use areas within the respective Planning Areas to develop existing sediment loads within each HUC12 watershed. The results were aggregated to develop the total existing sediment load for the total Planning Area within East Allen Township, with all HUC12 watersheds draining into the lower reaches of the Lehigh River.

B. Existing Stormwater BMPs in the Planning Area

East Allen Township was historically an agricultural community with a major limestone quarry/cement plant, located just to the north of the Cities of Allentown and Bethlehem in the Lehigh Valley. In recent decades, many farms were converted to residential, commercial, and industrial development and other land uses such as recreational and institutional. U.S. Route 22 was constructed nearby to the Township’s southern boundary during the 1950s to improve transportation within the Lehigh Valley, connecting the nearby urban areas with major highways leading to New York City, Philadelphia, and other outlying areas. The improved transportation increased land development within the nearby East Allen Township to meet increased demands for housing, industry, commercial development, and warehousing. Earlier land development activities required varying degrees of stormwater management and water quality protection, with either no stormwater management controls or older facilities aimed largely at conveyance and flood protection. The combination older urban and agricultural land uses contributed to a listing of non-attaining for sediment pollution in all streams within the Township. Newer land development within the Township has required stormwater management facilities aimed at improving and protecting water quality. Since 2007, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits requiring both construction site and post construction stormwater management to reduce or eliminate pollutants from stormwater have been required

East Allen Township 9 Pollutant Reduction Plan

for new land development projects within East Allen Township. For such sites within the Planning Area for this PRP, the drainage areas and sediment discharges may be “parsed-out” of the total existing sediment load, from which the reduction of 10 percent is required. Two (2) sites with qualifying MS4 regulated outfalls, having water quality controls, were identified within the East Allen Township Planning Area, as summarized below:

Outfall 36-A – In July 2014, a new commercial/institutional land development plan that required an NPDES permit from PA DEP was constructed. The NPDES regulations required stormwater management to infiltrate and improve stormwater quality for the discharge from this site. The drainage area to this site is approximately 3.59 acres, with treatment provided by an infiltration basin to the rear of the proposed building and parking areas. In consideration of a 0.95 sediment removal coefficient, this system results in a sediment load reduction of 562.4 lbs/year, which may be subtracted from the raw Total Existing Sediment Load calculated for the Township’s 201.41-acre Planning Area within the Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watershed. See Table 3, below, and reference Appendix C – Calculations for Existing BMP Load Reductions.

Outfall 36-B – In February 2007, a new commercial/industrial land development plan that required an NPDES permit from PA DEP was constructed. The NPDES regulations required stormwater management to control rate and improve stormwater quality for the discharge from this site. The drainage area to this site is approximately 110.17 acres, with treatment provided by a large wet pond. In consideration of a 0.60 sediment removal coefficient, this system results in a sediment load reduction of 9,790.1 lbs/year, which may be subtracted from the raw Total Existing Sediment Load calculated for the Township’s 201.41-acre Planning Area within the Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watershed. See Table 3, below, and reference Appendix C – Calculations for Existing BMP Load Reductions.

C. Pollutant Load Calculation

To model the existing sediment load for the MS4 Planning Areas in East Allen Township using the MapShed program, base model runs were completed for the Catasauqua Creek, Monocacy Creek, and East Branch Monocacy Creek HUC12 watersheds. The Urbanized Area of the Township is primarily within the Monocacy Creek HUC12 watershed, with the remainder being relatively small areas within the Catasauqua Creek and East Branch Monocacy Creek HUC12 watersheds. Sediment impairment is only listed for all three (3) HUC12 watersheds. Catasauqua

Creek drains directly into the Lehigh River in the Borough of Northampton. The East Branch Monocacy Creek HUC12 watershed is a sub-basin to the Monocacy Creek HUC12 watershed, which discharges directly to the Lehigh River in the City of Bethlehem. Therefore, while the base model runs were conducted separately for these three (3) distinct HUC12 watersheds, the loadings were aggregated as the basis for the overall 10% reduction in sediment. MapShed was used to determine land uses and sediment runoff coefficients, or loading rates, for the Urbanized Areas and Planning Areas within East Allen Township. ArcMap was then used to develop drainage areas to all previously identified MS4 outfalls, for which the same land use data were applied to determine the sediment load for the Planning Area within the Urbanized Areas. The Existing Pollutant Loading for sediment was then calculated for the Planning Area using the previously derived land use loading coefficients. See Table 4, below, for land use loading rates and respective pollutant load calculations. The pollutant load reductions from the two (2) recent land development projects with existing stormwater BMPs (i.e., Arcadia East and St. Luke’s facilities along Route 512) were subtracted from the total existing load for the Planning Area.

TOTAL 1,364.62 1,617,367.8

Based on these existing load calculations, it was determined that the Township’s total existing sediment loading is 1,617,367.8 lbs/year. The existing sediment loading for the Planning Area within the Catasauqua Creek HUC12 Watershed is 1,552,573.4 lbs/year. The existing sediment loading for the Planning Area within the Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watershed is 64,611.4 lbs/year. The existing sediment loading for the Planning Area within the East Branch Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watershed is 183.0 lbs/year.

D. Pollutant Load Reduction Requirements

For East Allen Township, sediment is the only pollutant that requires reduction under the current MS4 Program requirements. The sediment pollution reduction requirement is 10 percent by weight from the Planning Area for each of the three (3) HUC12 watersheds. Therefore, based on the above-calculated sediment pollutant loads by HUC12 watersheds, prior to parsing-out

Page 14: POLLUTANT REDUCTION PLAN (PRP)POLLUTANT REDUCTION PLAN (PRP) EAST ALLEN TOWNSHIP NORTHAMPTON COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA January 18, 2019 PREPARED FOR: EAST ALLEN TOWNSHIP 5344 Nor-Bath Boulevard

East Allen Township 12 Pollutant Reduction Plan

sediment load reductions for existing qualifying stormwater BMPs, raw sediment reductions required are:

155,257.3 lbs/year for the Catasauqua Creek HUC12 Watershed 6,461.1 lbs/year for the Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watershed 18.3 lbs/year for the East Branch Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watershed

The total sediment load reduction required (minimum) for the Township, therefore, is 161,7736.8 lbs/year. The 10 percent minimum reductions will be accomplished for each HUC12 watershed area using retrofits to existing conventional stormwater management facilities and new stormwater management BMPs. Where applicable (i.e., Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watershed – Outfalls 36-A and 36-B), the existing sediment load is reduced to account for sediment removals by qualifying existing BMPs. Final sediment load reductions required for each HUC12 watershed are summarized below in Table 5.

East Allen Township 13 Pollutant Reduction Plan

V. BMPs Selected to Achieve the Minimum Required Reductions in Pollutant Loading

Based on the 10 percent sediment load reduction targets established above, East Allen Township has identified potential BMPs to meet the minimum load reductions during the next 5-year permit term. BMPs for stormwater management were determined, based on available public land, existing facilities, and potential for pollutant removal. All potential stormwater BMPs listed in the BMP Effectiveness Values table provided by PA DEP were considered. A list of the BMPs selected for East Allen Township to meet sediment loading reduction goals is provided below in Table 6, with a location map provided in Appendix D.

A. Summary of Alternatives and Selection of BMPs

The Township identified and evaluated BMPs, according to the following criteria:

Sediment reduction Cost-effectiveness of pollutant reduction Ownership (public vs. private land, single party vs. multi-party ownership) Funding and workforce availability Community benefit (site accessibility, flooding relief, aesthetics, etc.) Connectivity to other completed or proposed stormwater BMPs Timeframe to implement

The purpose of the evaluation was to determine the most cost-effective BMPs that would benefit water quality and the community. The highest priority BMPs are included in this PRP. The BMPs selected are a list of good opportunities that the Township has identified and may use to meet their required sediment reduction. The Township is not committing to implementing all the BMPs listed in this PRP, as that would exceed their required reduction. The actual implemented BMPs will be based on further site evaluation, negotiations with stakeholders, detailed design criteria, permitting complexity, and cost. The plan will be adjusted and revised, as new opportunities arise and as necessary to accomplish reduction goals with the most cost-effective BMPs. The Township will continuously evaluate cost-effective opportunities to meet required reductions. These could include working jointly with other municipalities on a joint project if viable opportunities arise. The Township will also evaluate opportunities to work with future private developers or land development applicants where cooperative efforts merit consideration. As new opportunities are selected for implementation to meet sediment reduction requirements, this PRP will be amended, advertised for public comment, and resubmitted to PA DEP.

B. Pollutant Removals

The total minimum sediment reduction required for the Township is 160,701.5 lbs/year, with 155,257.3 lbs/year, 5,425.9 lbs/year, and 18.3 lbs/year reductions required for the Catasauqua

East Allen Township 14 Pollutant Reduction Plan

Creek, Monocacy Creek, and East Branch Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watersheds, respectively, as shown above in Table 5. Since MapShed was used to determine pollutant loading coefficients for the land uses within the Township and to calculate the existing loads, the same data were used to calculate the load reductions resulting from the implementation of the proposed stormwater BMPs. Sediment removal efficiency values were taken from the PA DEP BMP Effectiveness Values table (3800-PM-BCW0100M) and applied to the pollutant loadings calculated for each proposed BMP to determine the reductions expected for each proposed BMP. Watersheds for proposed BMPs were developed in ArcMap using available Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data, including parcels, 2-foot Lidar topography, buildings, and land use data. For the Planning Area within the Catasauqua Creek HUC12 watershed, ten (10) identified potential BMPs would remove sediment at 770,240.3 lbs/year, which subtracted from the required sediment reduction of 155,257.3 lbs/year results in a surplus removal value of 614,982.9 lbs/year, assuming full implementation. The Township may ultimately implement any combination of the ten (10) potential BMPs to meet the 10 percent required sediment load reduction. Based on a rough analysis of cost-effectiveness for implementation, the Township is currently proposing to implement one (1) BMP within a Township park area, identified as BMP ID 023-B, that will reduce the sediment load by 557,327.3 lbs/year, or 359.0 percent within the Catasauqua Creek HUC12 Watershed. For the Planning Area within the Monocacy Creek HUC12 watershed, four (4) identified potential BMPs would remove sediment at 16,495.6 lbs/year, which subtracted from the required sediment reduction of 5,425.9 lbs/year results in a surplus removal value of 11,069.7 lbs/year, assuming full implementation. The Township may ultimately implement any combination of the four (4) potential BMPs to meet the 10 percent required sediment load reduction. Based on a rough analysis of cost-effectiveness for implementation, the Township is currently proposing to implement one (1) BMP along a Township dirt road, identified as BMP ID 007, that will reduce the sediment load by 7,296.7 lbs/year, or 134.5 percent within the Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watershed. For the Planning Area within the East Branch Monocacy Creek HUC12 watershed, four (4) identified potential BMPs at one regulated MS4 outfall location will remove sediment at 53.2 lbs/year, which subtracted from the required sediment reduction of 18.3 lbs/year results in a surplus removal value of 34.9 lbs/year, assuming full implementation. The Township may ultimately implement any combination of the four (4) potential inlet bags to meet the 10 percent required reduction. Based on a rough analysis of cost-effectiveness for implementation, the Township is currently proposing to implement one (1) BMP along a Township road, identified as BMP ID 031-D, that will reduce the sediment load by 27.1 lbs/year, or 148.1 percent within the East Branch Monocacy Creek HUC12 Watershed. As previously noted, all stormwater BMPs listed in Table 6 may be considered for implementation by the Township to meet their required sediment reduction. The Township is not committing to implement each BMP listed. BMPs will be chosen based on additional evaluation of cost-benefit once more detailed planning has been completed. The combination of selected BMPs will meet the required 10% reduction for sediment load from the Planning Area within the Township and will be implemented by the next 5-year permit term, or as formally extended. A summary of all

East Allen Township 15 Pollutant Reduction Plan

the currently proposed BMPs and how they meet the required 10 percent sediment load reduction is shown below in Table 6. Calculations for BMP sediment load reductions are provided in Appendix C. BMP project locations are shown in Appendix D. BMP designs will be added to this PRP as Appendix E, as they are completed, approved, and implemented.

C. Operation and Maintenance Requirements

With regard to existing and future stormwater BMPs that may be constructed on private property and not managed by the Township, the Township’s Stormwater Management Ordinance requires legally binding Operation and Maintenance (O&M) provisions which must be completed for facilities not dedicated to or accepted by the Township. The Township’s MS4 permit indicates and requires regular inspection by facility owners and Township staff at least one (1) time during each 5-year permit term. The Stormwater Management Ordinance also specifies regular inspection intervals by the owners, who are responsible for maintenance under various situations. Operation and Maintenance requirements for all stormwater management BMPs proposed for meeting the required MS4 Program pollutant reductions, including responsible parties, activities, and schedules are listed below in Table 6. The Township will be responsible for implementation of selected BMPs, as well as for regular inspections, sediment removal, and reconstruction of facilities, as needed to maintain efficiency and functionality for sediment removal.

East Allen Township 18 Pollutant Reduction Plan

VI. Summary East Allen Township plans to complete the planning and permitting stages of the listed projects during the next two (2) years to help ensure that the projects will be completed within the upcoming 2019-2024 permit term. The Township desires to ensure that the projects will be designed to meet the current and upcoming requirements and reduction goals, which may mean that this PRP will be revised as design and permitting are completed. Additional BMPs will be added to the plan, as necessary or as opportunities present, to improve stormwater management within the Township. Updates on each of the proposed BMPs and the implementation status of the PRP will be included in all future MS4 reporting submitted to PA DEP. The Township may consider implementing a stormwater fee to fund the installation of all proposed BMPs. Whenever practicable, the Township will apply for available funding for stormwater improvements. Fee revenues may serve as matching funds for potential grant funding where required.
